Merging CIVS - PLEASE FIX THE BUG!

[Aktivia]

This destroys the game. Im know in 49large nation and get diplomacy penalty. And the strategy for this game is totally broken....
This happens to almost all my games! Extremely annoying.

Just happened in the game I was in, so bad that I quit it. I wonder if 2K even has a QA department, of if that is what we are doing for free.

It does seem to have got more prevalent. I am thinking of taking screenshots of every game I start to document it, since currently 2K staff are not giving any indication they know the bug exists, and there's that one guy who claims merging is happening as intended.

it happens in every game ive played the last 4 times. the only way they are missing it, is because they arent looking

[Furiey]

I really do wish they would at least acknowledge these bugs even if they're difficult to fix and we'll have to w will take a while for them to do so. Just recognising that they are there and actually need fixing makes us at least feel that reporting these bugs is worthwhile and that they are trying to improve the game, not just find more ways to get us to use civbucks.

I was Roman. My cat threw up. Logged out to take care of it. Came back and I was Mongol. And so was everyone else. I do not believe my cat was at the keyboard while I was away.

Today is Sunday 9/18.

Post the game number and possibly the historical figure name, please.

My wife and i have played several CivWorld games together. We have only had ONE where this DIDN'T happen. We started a new game today that this happened in, more than once. We finally gave up, left the game and joined a new one which is a pain because we can't PICK which game we go into since it took away the second game slot which we had previously unlocked. We both ended up in Jefferson's Game, game #4132. We played it a bit this afternoon and guess what! Merging civs! We are quiting the game. We will check back on the forums occasionally to see if this is fixed but honestly it is not worth playing the game until it is. The merging bug creates mega civilizations that simply dominate the world and even combining with other civs you can't compete with one who in some cases has almost as many members as the rest of the world combined!

This is a serious problem - i have played beta games before, open and closed. This game is not ready for open beta testing, you are only hurting your image by allowing so many people to play a game that is so fundementally flawed and in some cases unplayable.

This merged civ nonsense has already ruined the closed borders civic...
